Google Maps

David J. Young

Abstract

MapQuest was the first popular Internet mapping website. Yahoo jumped
into the fray with Yahoo! Local maps. But Google has probably
provided the most innovation in the area of Internet mapping with the
inclusion of satellite view, street view, 3D imagery, traffic and
terrain.
This presentation will be primarily be a live demo of Google Maps to
highlight it's many capabilities and features. While you probably use
it all of the time to do your basic mapping needs, you'll probably
discover that Google Maps does far more than you ever realized.

Bio

David J. Young has over 21 years experience as a programmer, systems,
network and database administrator. He is currently the IT Director at
National Cycle, a world leader in motorcycle windshield and
accessories manufacturing. It is his ideal job. It combines computers
and motorcycling; two of his life-long passions. When he's not on a
computer, he's usually exploring a US or European twisty backroad on a
motorcycle, or aggressively slicing through the trees in Michigan on a
dirt bike.
